It’s my first month with a new company. Although there are vast differences, e.g. the previous company is a BPO while the new one is a consulting company, there are also certain parallels. I guess companies really are in essence very similar, they just vary in scale and scope.
For example, on the IT side, there’s only a handful of support people serving so many. The end result is similar: one week service record turnover, monitors lining the hallway, etc. People are also people bitching about access control. Now I know how it feels. But that’s another story. Hahaha.
On the Software Development side, the new company is so much better. They have a strong project management discipline going as well as a consistent development life cycle. But, although there’s a long way to go, there are similarities. Were focusing on Java, frameworks like Spring and Hibernate, we’re moving towards an iterative software development cycle, etc. It’s definitely a good thing to know that we were on the right track.
